Exogenous indole modulates several CpxRA-mediated virulence-related parameters of in vitro.

Unlabelled: Indole signaling has been regarded as a promising target to control aquatic diseases. However, the relationship between exogenous indole and the virulence of is obscure. is a facultative intracellular pathogen, and has been a model strain in aquaculture.

The Thioredoxin System in Contributes to Oxidative Stress Tolerance, Motility, and Virulence.

is an important fish pathogen that causes substantial economic losses. In order to understand its pathogenic mechanism, additional new virulence factors need to be identified. The bacterial thioredoxin system is a major disulfide reductase system, but its function is largely unknown in .

sp. nov. isolated from seashore sand.

A Gram-stain-positive, non-motile, rod-shaped, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated as IB182487, was isolated from a seashore sand sample collected from Zhaoshu Island, PR China. Strain IB182487 grew at pH 6.0-10.

Universal stress proteins contribute Edwardsiella piscicida adversity resistance and pathogenicity and promote blocking host immune response.

Universal stress proteins (Usps) exist ubiquitously in bacteria and other organisms. Usps play an important role in adaptation of bacteria to a variety of environmental stresses. There is increasing evidence that Usps facilitate pathogens to adapt host environment and are involved in pathogenicity.

HutZ is required for biofilm formation and contributes to the pathogenicity of Edwardsiella piscicida.

Edwardsiella piscicida is a severe fish pathogen. Haem utilization systems play an important role in bacterial adversity adaptation and pathogenicity. In this study, a speculative haem utilization protein, HutZ, was characterized in E.
